Victorian House Technology

Victorian Britain was a time of rapid social and economic
change. In this buoyant climate, new technologies were developed
for the supply of water, for sanitation, better lighting and
heating and these had a major impact on the level of services in
the home.

This film looks at the technological advances which raised
levels of comfort and convenience in the Victorian and Edwardian
house, some of which remain an essential component of British house
design and construction today.
